Duration: 40 minutes

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: I don't remember the exact questions which company officials asked, but this round was entirely based on puzzles. They asked 4-6 puzzles starting with easy ones and then level of difficulty increased. I solved first 4 puzzles. Last two puzzles were quite difficult and I remember I took 15-20 minutes to solve each. I was able to solve one but not other. Apart from this they also asked 1 guesstimate question. It was "how many litres of paint is required to paint the building of your college". I estimated the area of buildings and after 20 minutes gave a guesstimate answer. Impressed with my problem solving skills, I was eligible for the next round.
Tips: There are many online sites through which you can practice puzzles and IQ questions.
For guesstimate question you need to know certain details that might help you to solve the questions like
1. Population of india

Then next was questions related to the subjects which I studied. Since I am not good at Electronics so I wasn't able to solve much questions. I feared that I might get eliminated now. Then they asked few questions from coding C, C++, Data structure. I solved them quickly. I guessed that saved me, and I got promoted for next round
Tips: One thing interviewers will definitely ask in this round is questions related to your subjects. So, if you good in your studies then you can easily clear this else you can prepare 2-3 subjects well. Rest technical questions will depend on your resume like apart from studies what additional knowledge you possess.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The final round, "grand finale". I had given two interviews for internship and got rejected both times in final round. So, I was a bit tensed. I went there, the VP of the company was sitting there ready to fire questions upon me. But, I maintained my equanimity and gave appropriate answers and after 3 hours, my name was there among the list of selected students.
Tips: Prepare for the HR questions which is generally asked. And be ready for surprise questions they might ask from you. You have to be confident that's all and you can succeed with flying colours
